I cannot deal with users (need a translator), I'm a back office guy that 
likes to work alone! (Bench Tech / Field Tech / level III support / 
Sys,Net Admin / Net Eng, etc.), The first job I ever had was as a bench 
tech @18, then went to tech school for network engineering and am now 
going back to school for a BSCE (Computer Engneering) and after that a 
Masters. I have always been a hardware guy (though I like learning the 
in's and out's of OS's, this led me to DOS 5 - 8, Win 3.x, Win9x/ME, 
NT3.1 - 5.1, OS/2, BeOS (dam you palm or killing it), Linux, and finally 
FreeBSD (which I like the most, most cohesive and stable OS I have ever 
seen, oh, and I love Perl! :-)). Once I tried user support and I had a 
meltdown, got fired after two weeks. My Myers-Briggs explains it all: 
I{S,N}TP, with extreme Introversion.
